Blackbird & the Sparrow

Blackbird
singing a ghostly song
In daylight is hushed
Night falls
nothing else is heard
But a melody
played off key
Till along came a sparrow
to comfort thee
When all thought was lost
the music played
So very soft
as the kiss of tiny wings
on an early morning breeze.

So gracefully written. What a great coupling of black bird and sparrow. I always enjoy the steady rhyme you write with. Very nice.

Amazing story told in the poetry. You made me believe your words and thoughts. I saw the sparrow and the blackbird. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry. I liked this one.

sometimes the simpler the better when one can convey so much with so little words.
